Be a Marymount Maximizer

Being a "maximizer" involves educating yourself on how to make the most out of an experience and then actually DOING those things. Being a "Marymount Maximizer" involves recognizing all of the amazing personal and professional growth opportunities the MU experience has to offer and then taking advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible while you are here!

Marymount truly provides an ideal environment for students to explore, prepare, and connect with a meaningful career - knowledgeable professors everywhere; fun and engaging academic and community activities abound; service-learning and internship opportunities each semester... the list goes on! While educating yourself about such career development resources is key, purposefully making use of these resources and doing so consistently is the only way to fully experience their benefit.

At Marymount, we are always looking for new ways to help our students succeed in an increasingly global and high-tech economy. For instance, just this fall, Marymount launched four new undergraduate minors (French, Spanish, Sustainability, & Writing) and a new undergraduate certificate program (Computer Networking & Cybersecurity) to give students the right tools for success in today's workplace.

Stay in the loop by regularly reading Marymount publications to make sure you don't miss out on these great opportunities!
